    After playing drums in Nashville for 6 years and working in the hospitality industry, I found myself with spare time during the pandemic and decided to explore my interest in programming. The interest sparked while working in DAW's such as Live, Logic Pro, and Pro Tools for sessions, during live performances, and as a hobby in producing my own music. What began as a way to pass the time quickly turned into a passion for understanding the ways in which technology shapes the world around us.

  • Christy Le - Web Development Cohort 60
    Christy Le graduated with full time Web Development Cohort 60.
    Practicing empathy & transparency daily, as well as doing my part to facilitate & cultivate a more equitable future for all are driving forces in my life. My maxim is to do everything with intention. I'm eager to quench my thirst for transforming the abstract into more concrete, tangible forms. When not working on a project, I'm usually spinning records on my turntable or digging through crates to find the newest, tastiest sounds. Likely meditating on a glass of fernet.
